pure sunshine

Pure sunshine, this girl. I could bottle her little voice up and listen to it for the rest of my life. She glitters my day with her happy chatter and it leaves the best smiles on my face. 

“Hello, sun in my face. Hello you who made the morning and spread it over the fields...Watch, now, how I start the day in happiness, in kindness.” -Mary Oliver 

tavis at nine months

 That eyebrow!

Nine months. It's gone by in a blink. He's starting to stand on his own, crawling and climbing in everything. He's all over the place.

happy birthday cole : 6 years old

Those are what I call great cake eyes. I always love this moment so much, the happy look on their faces. Nothing beats it. 

This is my all time favorite photo of Cole to date.

six months and growing

i took these when tavis started getting up on all fours. such a busy little viking. he is keeping me on my toes these days. margo was playfully teasing him with his binky and some impromptu snuggles happened. all in a days works for these two. i love having a baby in the house. even with all the chaos they bring, the trade offs win every time. margo never stops loving him, she loves to lay on the floor and let him crawl on top of her. she giggles so hard and ends up getting pummeled every time and still she forgives him. she is so loving and humbles me daily with her calming presence.

our happy place
